Such a system entails both detection and destruction of invaders and/or feeders, and in contrast to more complex organisms with immense immune systems, these two functions normally rely on multitasking lectins, namely, lectins with different functional modules. Here, we present a novel fungal lectin, LBL, from the basidiomycete Laccaria bicolor. Using a diverse set of biophysical techniques, we unveil the fine details of the sugar-binding specificity of the N-terminal beta-trefoil of LBL (LBL(152)), whose structure has been determined at the highest resolution so far reported for such a fold. LBL(152) binds complex poly-N-Acetyllactosamine polysaccharides and also robust LBL(152) binding to Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster cellular extracts was detected in microarray assays, with a seeming preference for the fruit fly adult and pupa stages over the larva stage. Prediction of the structure of the C-terminal part of LBL with AlphaFold reveals a tandem repeat of two structurally almost identical domains of around 110 amino acids each, despite sharing low sequence conservation.
